Over the last several months I have been tasting red Bordeaux from the 1998 vintage to find a special wine for the holidays. Last year I found some gems from 1996, but they are becoming harder to find, and more expensive. My favorite was Sociando Mallet, a delicious well rounded wine. It has a deep red color with luscious fruit and hints of cedar and coffee. This wine is a perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and structure. Although there are some tannins allowing the wine to age nicely for 5-10 years, it opens up very nicely after a half hour of decanting. Perfect for that special holiday meal.
A Taster's Journey is a newsletter on food, wine and travel. After 15 years of studying, tasting, teaching, and selling wine, I created this newsletter to not only share my passion about wine, but of food and travel as well. Each month I hope to share wines that I am drinking, food that is in season, restaurants that I have enjoyed, and places I have traveled. Enjoy!"

It was really heavy and also intense. It was truly heavy and thought provoking. As well, just in case one did not get that, this was genuinely heavy as well well done
